I called epson because for some reason suddenly (i have that printer for years) the printing display when you click on properties is corrupted meaning it does not let me click on advanced option. We did everything including redownloading the driver. Still not working. The guy think there is some conflict with my Epson 1400 and the xp system. How don't know how to find out. Please help I need my printer.

I would try first of all making sure that all of your drivers are up to date. I am saying this because it is always a good first step, but I am not 100% confident that this will fix it. There are a few updates that are listed as URGENT for your specific computer. The link to your drivers is below. The main one that concerns me is the Intel Chipset Driver located under chipset. This is listed as URGENT and may be a solution to your problem. The chipset is part of the motherboard that can be responsible for controlling your USB ports. If this does not remedy the situation I would contact Dell support for a possible solution.

MY DELL 725 PRINT WILL NOT PRINT IN BLACK INK. I HAVE A NEW PRINTER. I EVEN BOUGHT A NEW INK CARTRIDGE AND IT STILL PRINTS IN GREEN ONLY. WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE MY DOCUMENT PRINT IN BLACK?

Download this, run it, and click Yes when it asks if you want to "add this information to the registry."

Let me know how you made out, and please rate my answer.

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

SOURCE: Scanning problem with A940 AIO Dell printer/scanner

Hi there, just found this solution to work perfectly. i just freaked out for a moment with the same problem. Use this or just type fax and scan in your help function. Hope this helps!

Before you begin, make sure that you've installed your scanner on the computer and that the scanner is turned on.

1. Windows Photo Gallery.
   
2. Click File, and then click Import from Camera or Scanner.
   
3. In the Import Pictures and Videos window, click the scanner that you want to use, and then click Import.
   
4. In the New Scan dialog box, click the Profile list, and then click Photo. The default settings for scanning a picture are automatically displayed.
   
5. If you're using a scanner with a document feeder, click the Paper size list, and then click the size of the picture that you've placed on the scanner or click the size that most closely matches the picture.
   
6. Click the Color format list, and then click the color format that you want the scanned file to display.
   
7. Click the File type list, and then click the file type that you want to use to save the scanned file.
   
8. Click the Resolution (DPI) list, and then click the resolution, in dots per inch, that you want to use.
   
9. Adjust the brightness and contrast settings or type the values that you want to use.
   
10. To see how the picture will appear when it is scanned, click Preview. If needed, modify the scan settings, and then preview the picture again. Repeat these steps until you're satisfied with the preview results. Some scanners might require you to place the picture in the document feeder each time that you scan.
    
11. Click Scan. When the scan is complete, Windows Photo Gallery prompts you to tag the picture so that it's easier to organize or find later.
    
12. In the Tag these pictures (optional) list, type a tag name, and then click Import. Windows Photo Gallery displays the picture so you can view, fix, or organize it.
